Figure 30: The Versa-Plate mounting slots on the Paramount M
Y
T allow the payload to be adjusted to achieve balance in
declination.
The Paramount M
Y
T Versa-Plate has four slots that can be used to adjust the balance point of the payload
in declination. To do so, loosen the four ¼-20 SHCS screws using a 3/16-in. hex wrench, then slide the
Versa-Plate to the desired position. Once balance has been achieved, snugly tighten each screw enough
so that the Versa-Plate does not rotate or shift during mount slews, but not so tight as to deform the
washers.
Standard versus Wide Mounting Versa-Plate Orientation
The Paramount is shipped with the Versa-Plate in the standard orientation. The Versa-Plate can also be
mounted at 90 degrees from the standard orientation, offering a wider mounting area to accommodate
multiple optical tube assemblies.
The Instrument Panel is attached to the bottom of the Versa-Plate. Typically, you will want
to mount the optical tube assembly to the Versa-Plate so that the eyepiece or camera end
is as close to the Instrument Panel as possible. Doing so offers the shortest cable route
between powered accessories that are mounted to the draw tube and the power ports on
the Instrument Panel.
